so in this video I'm showing you one way ...as to...how you can add beads to your project. I'm using acrylic beads for this one - I'm going to add these beads to the edging of a lace shawl project that I'm making ....and you're also go to need a small crochet hook that will fit through the hole of your beads.... this one is a zero point six millimeter crochet hook.... and then you'll need your regular regular crochet hook that you're using for the project. And the reason why I'm using this method for this project is that I'm using this type of cotton/acrylic yarn that has not been spun, but consists of four threads just lying besides each other so if I were to just take my beads and slide them all on the string of yarn at once ...the yarn would Pucker and the beads will get caught so first you'll just start by using your regular hook to work up the stitch pattern that you're making and I'm just going to work until the middle of this next motive so I'm going to chain five stitches here and I'm going to pull up this loop and I'm going to remove this working hook and then I'm going to take my smaller hook and I'm going to take one of these beads and then I'll place the yarn on the hook like this and pull down the yarn to create a tension.... then I'll use my right thumb to slide the bead over the yarn ...down to the end of the loop like this, and take your working hook and pull down tight and now chain 1 to secure the bead ...and now you have placed your bead and you can just continue on with your pattern.... like so so as you can see, you can place your feet in the middle of a chain row that's what you want.... it will look like this.... thanks for watching if you like this video please hit the like and subscribe button for more videos in the future :-)
